Because your business is always changing, the space you work in may need to change with it. Many businesses relocate as their teams grow or their needs change. Know the signs that your current commercial real estate space is no longer working for you.

When to Look for New Commercial Real Estate

1. Parking Challenges

Each of your employees should have a place near the building to park. It may seem insignificant, but pulling into a convenient lot to park starts everyone’s morning on the right note. If employees are competing for limited spots or have to rely on on-street parking, finding a location with a larger lot will make everyone happier.

2. Overcrowding

Overcrowding is a common issue as teams grow. Your employees need space to work. If people have to share a desk or can’t schedule meeting rooms when they need them, then you need more square footage.

3. Storage Shortages

Storage may also be an issue for an expanding business. If your storage shelves are full or if you have boxes of unfiled documents stacked in a corner, productivity will decline. In disorganized offices, people can’t find what they need. All that visible clutter makes for a less attractive work environment as well.

4. Poor Brand Alignment

Your office space is the face of your business. It should send the right message to employees, potential talent, and visiting clients. A law firm, for example, may need a traditional office in a downtown location with private meeting spaces for clients. A technology startup may prefer a more casual and open environment to encourage creativity and collaboration.
